Anthony Charles Morgan was 40 when he was killed in a brazen ambush on Detroit’s west side on August 14, 2014. Known to friends and family as Ant, he had spent the evening at the Ace of Spades Gentlemen’s Club and left in the early morning hours with two other men in a cream-colored Lincoln MKZ, traveling east on West 8 Mile Road near Greenfield Road.

As the vehicle passed through the intersection it was sprayed with gunfire in what has been described as a guerrilla-style attack. Reportedly about 43 shots struck the Lincoln MKZ. Morgan sustained fatal injuries; a 30-year-old man named Dale Gray also died and a third occupant survived with injuries.

Community members gathered at Caver Funeral Home to pay their respects to Morgan. If anyone was in that area that night or has information about the ambush, please come forward to help the investigation.
